It will be remembered that in my despatch forwarding the Estimates for 1906, I anticipated a balance of Assets over Liabilities on 31st December, 1905, of $331,963. The final accounts of the year transmitted in my despatch No.85 of 19th March, 1908, however, showed an increase on that estimate of $109,533, or a balance of Assets amounting to $441,496. According to the revised estimates for 1906 ordinary and extraordinary Revenue is expected to yield $7,054,034 only or $293,361 less than was expected. On the other hand a reduction of $306,000 is anticipated on the total expenditure which was originally estimated at $7,058,955. These estimates, if realised, would result in a surplus of Revenue on 31st December, 1906, amounting to $303,078 which together with the balance of assets accrued on 31st.
